For about 20 years, says the Goderich Star, there hes {teen agitation and talk of securing an extension of the Cana- dian Pacific railway to Goderich. '.l'he time lute about arrived for action. Tho company hes moved in the matter, and Mr. Hugh D. Lunsden, C.E., was in town during the early part of the week looking over the ground. He left Gode- rich for Lucknow, Wingham, and other points. He came by vehicle and left in the same way, so that the lay of the country and route might be well deter- mined. While here Mr. Lmtsden was not talkative, but the Star learned that the C.P.R. has Goderich on its list as a terminal, and that there is some hesi- tancy as to whether the road will be continued to hero from Winghanl or Guelph Junetion. An erten.fon of the C.P.R.. to Goderich its what we want. Then must follow nib/ elevators and the C.P.R. line of ateanlere, which will materially assist hi making the county seat a emend Owen Sound, It has been Understood that there was a compact lwtween the C.P.R. and the Grand Trunk, that, the latter would not invade the great Northwest, end that the for- tner would not encroach on Ontario„but since the Grand 'Trunk Nellie ]las as- sumed definite proposals, the C.P.R. is at full liberty to conte into Ontario end secure the great carrying trade ewail- ing it. We notice by the London (Eng- land) Daily Mail of June 23rd, that experts say, in connection with the content for traffic between these two powerful corporations, that the Cana- dian Pacific will he "driven to create its own lines to Grand Trunk points in Ontario. and the termination of the for- mer compact. whereby in consideration of the Grand Trunk reirainieg from invading the Northwest, the Canadian P*toific refrained from invading Ontario. Thi* would leave the Canadian Pacific free to enter the Grand Trunk country in Ontario. While Canada is overflow- ing with prosperity this will perhaps not matter much, but when the setback tames that both companies will inevit- ably suffer is evident.” Killius MU.tard'With Bene -Stone. The minister of agriculture has again authorised the Ontario agricultural col- lege to give demonstrations in mustard spraying The demonatrationa given in many parts of the province in 1901 and 1902 were uniformly euccesaful in the destruc- tion of growing wild mustard plants in growing (wrest crops; and it is believed that the blue -stone treatment of meetard wi11 be welcomed by hundreds of farmers throughout Ontario. How the blue -atone is applied :—Place an ordinary spray pump, such as is used for the spraying of fruit trees, on a cart or light wagon; drive along slowly through the field applying the solution to the mustard planta in the forth of a fine spray. When the field is badly in• footed, it is advisable to spray the crop al strips in order that uo mustard plants escape the spray. How the blue -atone solution i* made :— Put nine pounds of blue -moue (copper eulphate)in a coarse sack or bag, aid suspend it in a vessel containing throe gallons of very hot or boiling water. The blue -stone will usually dissolve in lip or 20 minutes. Strain the solution into the barrel of the spray-minip, and fill cp with void water to make 40 or 96 gallons. This is known as the two per tient. solution (one pound of bine-stone in five gallons of tenter,) When to spray the mustard plants:_ Spray the mustard on a calm, bright (1sy, just as the plants are coating into bloom. at thin tiuoo most of tale young plants have made their appearance, and all will be killed. should a heavy rain come immediately after spraying, it will be l,ecessary to spray again. The cost of the solution :—Commercial blue -stone or blue vitriol costs at the drug stere about nine or 10 cents per pound. A barrel of the solution will therefore cost about 80 or 00 cents. Roy attach le required to spray an acre thoroughly? A. barrel of the solu- tion is sufficient for an acre, Successful results are obtained when the spraying is done thoroughly, Are the crops in which mustard is growing hurt by the spray? Experience show* that the young wheat, barley, oats or Voting clover plants are not in- jured beyond a slight browning for a fete days by the blue -stone spray, Where further information may be obtained:—Should you desire further information regarding the treatment of mustard with blue -stone solution write to the biological department of the On- tario agricultural college, Guelph. Sports and Pastimes. The longest baseball game of the year was played ou'1'hursday last in Chicago between the New York and Chicago club» of the American league, The teams battled for 18 innings, the life- time of two regular games, and were then forced to discontinue playing be- came of darkness. Runs came rather freely during the early part of the game, and the visitors from New York just managed to tie the score in the ninth 'induce, when they gored two runs. After that neither teats could get a man acres the plate. This extraordinarily long game will serve to lend renewed interest in these teams, eepecialiy in • ands a city as Chicago, where IL talo.* York and Pittsburg play beseba I at New York otl Saturday lag, Pittsburg won by a score o(4 to 2. A baseball teasel) was played 011 the Agricultural park on Friday evening between the Regulars and Volunteers of tlte.Blyth baseball club. The 00000 was 10 to 1 in favor of the Regulars. Seaforth and Berlin played a senior pante of football in Berlin on Friday evening, resniting in victory for the vi Ore by scare of 1 to 0. During the first half neither sides sewed, though honors were in favor of Seaforth their combination being euperior to that of Berlin. Both teams showed up a little better in the eocond half, Seaforth again ehowinti superiority to Berlin in all round� p1lay. St. Alarye and Seaforth played an In- termediate lacrosse match at St, Allays on \\'cdnesbay last, resulting in a V1r- tory for the home tenon by a score of 7 to 4, Though the grounds were ir, a very unfavorable condition on account of the eottinued rains for several days, and the game was mostly played through a drenching rain, it was one of the fast- est and cleanest exhibitions of lacrosse ever seen in St. Marys. Air. It. M. Mc- Kay, of Blyth, was Wilt of the Seaforth home playere. • The uncertainties of baseball make it the most interesting of all games. A couple of weeks ago the Jersey City team were so far ahead in the Eastern league championship race that it Seem- ed a hopeless task for any other club to overcome the advantage. Today the same 000.111 is fighting hard for second place, with lrr0specte of soon being ousted by the Toronto team, last year's champions, who, at the present time. are playing. by long odds, the best base- ball of any team in the league. SOOT BLOW TO CORPORATIONS, The Court of Appeal Upholds the Mont. rl polities of Ontario in Taxing Plants of Franchise Vo.npanlee. Tho notch -disputed question which arose under the act paved by the pro- vincial Legislature in the session of 11101 regarding the assessment of a large portion of the plants of various tram chine -holding companion, was disposed of on Alonday by a judgment handed out by the court of appeal. Under the decision, the companies cannot escape the taxation which they sought, and the municipalities who are interested scored a signal victory. It is the old act'ap iron case. When it was discovered a few years ago that the rails, poles, wires, etc„ of a railway or lighting company could be stemmed only at their value as scrap iron, under the law that had for many y'0are been nn the statute book, a new act was in- troduced by the provincial attor0ey- general `.0 do away with this condition of affairs, which was admitted pretty generally except by the companies them- selves to be an injustice, With that end in view the act of 1901 was passed. The companies thought they saw a loophole m it, and immediately set about to again e*cape taxation if they could. Their claim wag that the act did not meet the case, and that under it a large portion of the plants could be assessed only as personalty. '1'hie view wee widely eanvesaed, and the provin- cial government came in for a great deal of criticism, the charge being that it was in league with the corporations, stud that a deceptive act had been Teased. The case went before several different county court judges and hoard* of as- sessment. 'Five cag0a reached the court of appeal, and were dealt with on Mon- day an follows; Toronto Railway Company v. City of Toronto. Toronto Electric Light Company v. City of Toronto, Toronto Incandescent Light Company v. City of Toronto. Ottawa Electric Light Company v. City of Ottawa, Ottawa Gas Company v. City of Ot- tawa. to 'Piappeals in each case wore made by the companies, judgment being pre- viously given against them. Theilo- ment on Afnnday will governall similar cases in the province. Chief deettoe Moss, in announcing the decision, said; "Under a sub -section of a recent act of the legislature, 11 was held that the companies involved soul;] claim certain exemptions. The judges before when the cases were tried held otherwise, end we agree with the con- struction placed upon the sot by those judges. We think that under a proper construction of the act, which is not easy to construe, the claim; of the companies are not sepported, and that the plants are assessable as held by the municipalities. Accordingly the ap- peals are all dismissed, The cross-ap- peals put in by the city of Ottawa are also dismissed." The decision hal the concurrence of the full court, including Justices Mac- lennan, Osler, Carrow, and Maclaren. In the case of Toronto, the assessment which the railway company and the two lighting companies, which are prac- tically one, sea ri t to °see re, amounted to approximately half a million dollars. This means a taxation of about $t0,000 9 year. --Mr. Won.
